I can’t stop thinking about this book I read a few weeks ago.

<i>Scythe, </i>by Neal Shusterman. I’m not gonna give any spoilers plot-wise, but suffice it to say that this book has amazing worldbuilding, the character development is really well done, and the overall concept of the book isn’t at all what I expected it to be–it’s better.

Yep, Slytherin and proud. 😉

Okay, so it sounds like you’ve got all your plot events in order, but what I haven’t heard you mention are the characters. What motivates the characters to go through with this? What are they trying to learn? Have you thought about that at all?

@jenwriter17 Quillon is one of my favourites 🙂

@clairec uhh….*starts to sweat furiously* Not sure. It was a long time ago. But I am definitely now going to go and reread A Little Bush Maid and see if I can track down a hardcopy of the others.

@rochellaine

Ha, I’ve always liked Joseph a lot, but I’m not sure if I would say I had a crush on him, just that I really like him and look up to…[Read more]

@Ariella-newheart Oh cool! You’re exactly right I’m from Middle-Earth (or from Australia, take your pick ;P)

@ariella-newheart  Good question! I have struggled with the exact same thing in my KPA (that’s Kapeefer Adventure, sort of like the LOKD). I guess it depends on the series: How long it is, and when and where your MC(s) are traveling. If you have to put in all your recurring characters, you could either alter the characters so they fit each scene,…[Read more]

@jenwriter17  Probably not tomorrow, but I should be available on the weekend

@dekreel aw, sorry I can’t join you this time (seems like we keep missing each other huh?) do you think you’re gonna be on tomorrow or the weekend?

@rochellaine  @seekjustice  @clairec  @dragon-snapper  @jenwriter17  @aislinn-mollisong

*peeks in*  Anyone still here?

@kaya-young  Good topic idea! Let’s see…. The most recent thing I can think of is Shakespeare’s play, Richard III. I haven’t read Act 5, though, so no spoilers X)

@rochellaine okay, I like that name 🙂

I really like the title Ticket to Blueberria.

I really like your first lines. Maybe you could do it like this: once there was a boy who loved blueberries. At least, he thought he did. Oliver had never tasted one in his life. That way the MC’s name is established early, and you get to keep that awesome f…[Read more]

@kaya-young wow, this books sounds cool! *goes to check it out on Goodreads*

most of my reading lately has been for school, but…..

I just finished A Time to Die, by Nadine Brandes. (warning: mild spoilers!!!) Everyone (in the USE-United States of the East) has a clock that tells them exactly when they’re going to die. It’s not like I was…[Read more]

@clairec  Oopssss…

@ariella-newheart  Page 31, not page 37

@rochellaine

😀 Believe it or not, I’ve thought the same thing on occasions. So many of our everyday phrases make no actual sense!

@seekjustice yeah, Quillon is a pretty cool guy 😉

@rochellaine I like Gavinaugh and Dalton too. and same! I never liked who Dalton was with at first. Carliss is just awesome

@rochellaine

I think you might have actually (or it was @jenwriter17 I’m not sure). I really enjoyed writing him, especially the scenes with him and Chessy. 😀

@dragon-snapper No worries! bye!

@rochellaine I am a gracious person, so you may.

I’m hoping to have finished this draft by the end of Feb, and then I’ll be looking for a few beta readers before I go onto the third draft.

@rochellaine XD Yep! It’s quite amusing, although I have a strange case of internet paranoia, so I probably won’t confess anything. 😉 😛 If you know what I mean…

@seekjustice No, thanks for rambling. That is actually really helpful!

And I think I’m going to sign out now. I wrote 797 to my novel, and a beginning of a blog post. Now… I have…[Read more]
